Chapter 571 – It Hurts to Breathe

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

“Your face looks bad.” Su Xi looked at the woman sitting down woodenly in front of him.
Zige rested her hands on the desktop, interlocking them, her fingertips white. In just a few days’ time, her eyes were already lifeless. Her hair, which used to be glossy, had also become dry and messy.
This scene really staggered Su Xi.
“Looking for me for something?” Zi Ge just calmly snapped, her voice a little hoarse, like it was covered in a layer of gray, completely lacking the clarity of the past.
Su Xi removed the sunglasses that covered most of her face, not hiding the sympathy in her eyes.
“Just wanted to come and see you. I happened to be there the other day when your mother went to beg Brother Yu Feng. I happen to be free today, so I came over.” That day, although he was sidetracked by Lan Yu Feng, however, Su Xi, who was standing outside the door, had more or less heard some of the contents.
Fraud 500w, with a sum like that, it’s enough to put her away for over a decade if she pleads guilty.
She also heard …
Brother Yu Feng, the reason for his indifference, as it turns out, is just to protect her! To her, how heartfelt? Let her … can’t help but be jealous …
Zi Ge didn’t reply to Su Xi’s words, just kept quiet.
Obviously, the Zi Ge at this moment had been tortured to the point that she had lost all her luster and vigor. Is it because of Brother Yu Feng?
If so … she didn’t mind making her a little more desperate …
“Zige, don’t you want to know at all about the situation when your mother was begging Brother Yu Feng bitterly at that time?” Su Xi asked.
Zige’s dry lips moved for a moment before she spat out two words, “Don’t want to.”
But Su Xi didn’t want to go along with her.
“Your mother fell to her knees on the spot and begged Brother Yu Feng.”
Ziggy’s hands, interlocked, tightened in death.
“But Brother Yu Feng still didn’t agree. He seems to really hate you, so, from start to finish, he didn’t waver at all.” Su Xi glanced at Zi Ge’s increasingly pale face and raised her lips without a trace, “Before, I didn’t even know that he could be so ruthless. When your mother was kneeling there and crying, I was watching from the sidelines and couldn’t bear it.”
Fingertips that pinched into the flesh. Zige’s breathing became heavier and heavier. His body was so cold that even his veins were on the verge of freezing as if they were frozen.
Taking a deep breath, it was a long time before she spoke slowly, “If you’ve come specifically to talk to me about this, I don’t want to hear it at all.”
Su Xi smiled a little, “No, of course I didn’t just come to say this. I am trying to tell you something Brother Yu Feng has divorced Zhuo Yunruo.”
“This has nothing to do with me.” Ziggy’s voice remained flat and emotionless.
“Then there’s one more thing,” Su Xi smiled slightly and pulled out her own cell phone, entering the password before pushing it in front of Zi Ge.
Ziggy’s gray eyes swept her. She smiled and just compared her cell phone with her lower jaw, “Look at the picture on the desktop.”
Zige complied and lowered her head. Seeing the photo on the desktop, the figure stiffened.
Isn’t it already numb? But … why is it that when you look at the picture of him and Su Xi embracing each other and sleeping, your heart, actually still hurts?
Even breathing … hurts …
“We’re already together.” Sushi said, “And, he’s having surgery now, too, and I’m taking care of him.”
After hurting her, he’s doing just fine …
Already started another brand new relationship …
Zi Ge only felt that every one of her fingers, was trembling. The body, uncontrollably, shivered one after another …
Face, pale as if he had died once.
Although she had thought about her reaction, Su Xi was still a bit shocked by her appearance.
“Zige? Meng Zige!” Su Xi called out twice, somewhat alarmed.
Instead, she pushed away the chair and slowly stood up. With a face like ashes, she turned around and walked inside, without a single glance, without ever looking at Su Xi again, much less the picture on her cell phone.
Soon …
Only Su Xi was left sitting there dumbfounded.
She looked at the closed door, then at the cell phone still left there, and in her heart, for a moment, an indescribable taste climbed.
Guilt, ambivalence …
She just wanted a love of her own, didn’t think it would hurt her like this …
“Sister Honor, it’s time to go!” Assistant Xiaozhu came in and called out to her, “The agent called several times to hurry.”
“Got it …,” she responded, reaching out, unmistakably comparing her cell phone, “Bring it here for me.”
“You don’t look too good, did something happen?” Kotake gave her a worried look.
“No.” Su Xi stroked her forehead and put her sunglasses back on. The complexion returned to its usual starlight, took the cell phone handed over by Xiaozhu, looked at the screen, put it away, and then silently walked out.
The trial will be held tomorrow. The two of them, Mo Simin and Meng Yuhui, are worried sick. At first, they were still able to meet with Zi Ge above, and only left after the visitation time, but now they don’t even have a chance to meet with their daughter. The reason is just …
The suspect refused to see anyone.
“What’s going on? Nothing will happen to Zige, right?” Mo Simin was so anxious that she couldn’t put her mind at ease.
Meng Yuhui said, “It may be that the court is about to start, and she herself is upset. Inside, nothing can happen. I think it’s good that you don’t meet, so that you don’t have to cry all day and make her sad too.”
Mo Simin sighed, “I just don’t feel at ease. Always afraid that something will happen!”
“Lawyer Chen asked us to talk more in detail today, and since we can’t see our daughter, we’ll go to his place first.”
“Good, good …” Mo Simin nodded, only to follow her husband away with a step or two.
Behind the gray iron fence, Zige sat there. The darkness without a single ray of light hid her look at the moment.
Suddenly …
The heavy door opened, revealing a glimmer of light that struck her haggard, deathly gray face.
“Menzie Ge!”
This seems to be calling itself …
Ziggy shrank inward, her head buried deeper in her knees …
She doesn’t see anyone … doesn’t see anyone …
“Menzie Ge, come out!”
Don’t!
The world out there will only make her hurt …
“There was a clanging sound, the door lock opened, and a figure stepped in with great strides.
“Menzie Ge, can’t you hear someone calling you? Get up! You can go now!” The police officer pulled her.
She looked up, and the gray eyes made the other woman freeze, a little taken aback.
When he spoke again, his voice was softer, “Go away, the person who sued you has withdrawn the case, saying it was a misunderstanding.”
Misunderstanding?
“Zige!” Without waiting for Zige to shake her head, Mo Simin had already pounced in and held her daughter firmly in her arms.
“Get out of here, you guys, don’t stay here and cry!” The police officer prodded.
Meng Yuhui looked at the mother and daughter who hugged into a ball and finally smiled, his eyes reddened. Patting his wife’s shoulder, he choked back sobs and comforted, “Don’t cry, let people look at you as a joke, our daughter is fine now, we should laugh.”
In the hospital’s high-class ward, the nurse changed his medicine and left with a red face. It was only then that Yan Nan walked in, “Sir, it’s just as you expected.”
“Out of jail?” Lan Yu Feng asked.
“Uh-huh. Zhuo Yunruo temporarily withdrew her complaint, saying that it was just a misunderstanding.” Yan Nan nodded.
Lan Yu Feng looked complicated, the light from the window shone into his eyes, but it was just a dull gray. After a long period of silence, he pursed his lips, “Got it, go out first.”
Yan Nan gave him a worried look, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to go out.
The hardest thing in the world is probably …
There are some people that you want to hold on to so hard, but you just can’t …
Some people are misunderstood when they are clearly trying to try to protect …
Late afternoon.
Ko Heng Jun got off the plane and strutted out, ignoring the fans and media gathered outside the airport.
In the past few days abroad, called back and forth many times, and no one ever listened. Inexplicably, there was a very bad feeling in his heart that made him seven.
“Ke Hengjun, stop right there! There’s an award ceremony in a little while, you can’t be absent!” The agent followed closely behind him, and Ke Hengjun was in such a hurry that the agent could only reach out and tug him to a halt.
“You let go!” Ke Hengjun got annoyed and growled lowly in a bad temper.
Some people looked over this way in surprise. The agent held his breath and didn’t let go, just whispered a warning, “You’re a public figure, you watch your image!”
“I’m in a hurry, you let go.”
“What’s the emergency?” The agent pressed.
“You wouldn’t know even if you said it.” Ke Hengjun didn’t care to explain too much. Couldn’t he have told him that, by instinct, he felt that Zi Ge needed him now?
“It’s about that Meng Zige again?!” The agent’s face sank. The mention of Zi Ge was practically an itchy tooth.
Ke Hengjun didn’t reply, he just struggled. The agent wasn’t unaware of his stubbornness, if he got cross, he would walk away from the red carpet even if he was tied up five ways to the awards ceremony.
He didn’t care about things like image himself. It was always just the company that cared.
Being his agent for so many years had not yet smoothed out his nature until now.
“Good! I’ll go with you!” The agent just had to back off.
Ke Hengjun wrinkled his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but the agent immediately grabbed the words, “Don’t talk nonsense. This is the last concession I make! Follow me!”
He said, directing the two bodyguards on the sidelines to shove him unceremoniously into the nanny car.
Along the way …
Ko Hang-jun remained speechless.
Phone call after phone call was dialed.
The heart is always taut with a string, like it could be pulled at any moment.
After being gone for so many days, she hasn’t even called once …
This proved that nothing had happened to her, didn’t it? But why is it that the heart is just so uneasy.
Brokers sitting on the side, watching him constantly fiddling with his cell phone, and the look of preoccupation, originally wanted to count two sentences, but in the end did not dare to ask a word.
When the car arrived at his designated place, he pulled the door open with a ‘clatter’ and rushed out like the wind.
The agent was startled and quickly pulled the mask and sunglasses to chase him out, “Hey! You put your gear on!”
But where would he stop? All the way into the neighborhood. The agent was so helpless that he had to sprint to follow.
It took a bit of pounding in the elevator to force him to hide the face that was so good looking it took a woman’s breath away, leaving only his long, perfect body.
In the elevator, there were quite a few women coming in and out, their eyes lingering on him continuously. He blocked his face, and when the elevator stopped, he immediately buried his head and rushed out, and his agent followed quickly.
“Ziggy!” He rapped sharply on the door panel. “Zige, are you there? Open the door for me!”
“Hey, keep your voice down, in case there are fans that can hear you!” The agent reminded him.
However, he didn’t care at all. Just slammed the door with a ‘pop’.
“Zige! Meng Zige, are you there or not?!”
“Since no one answered, no one must be there.” The agent pressed his ear against the door for a moment, “There’s nothing moving in the door either. Gone!”
The agent pulled him to leave.
Ko Heng Jun also listened carefully and rang the doorbell again, but there was still no sound either.
